Sounds like you didn't meet the minimum requirements like the description said >:(

@NivlacM I did meet the requirements at the time I initially sent the email.

Hi Benjamin,

Thanks for being so patient with me while I wrap up the partner program. By pure chance, you're the second to last person I'm reviewing haha.

I must admit I'm a bit on the fence whether to invite you. You don't quite meet the current minimum requirements, but I also have just seen all of your "Will I lift weights today?" markets. When Manifold first started a couple of years ago the precedent was set that these markets were okay and betting on them before resolving was also okay. However, since leagues were implemented, it's generally been understood that it's considered bad to bet before resolving, especially for personal markets. Obviously, these are all unranked so you don't gain anything for leagues, but it still counts towards your overall profit and we still want to hold our partners to a high standard of what we want everyone else to copy.

Based on this behaviour on your personal markets and not quite reaching the current minimum requirements I won't be making you partner this time. That said, I expect to invite you soon once you make the relevant changes of not consistently profiting in an unfair way on your daily personal markets and creating a few more markets that attract higher numbers of traders. I would also suggest you try making them as a multi-independent market just to see how it does (have each answer for each day and you can resolve one answer a day).

Best

David

@SirSalty any estimate on when you'll finish going through the stack of applications?

@benjaminIkuta today/tomorrow. Just got back from flying from the US to UK which is why I had to stop halfway last week.

Did you just get a rejection and tank the market?

@voodoo no I just saw that others were accepted
